How do I power the lights in my sub box?
-
I bought a jbl sub that has built in lights and it has positive and negative terminals in the back for powering them. The problem is that there is no mention on how to power them. Can I daisy chain a cable going from the Amp + to the lights. I also found this on crutchfield: LED Lighting: Four white LED lights are installed inside of the box that are visible from the front Plexiglas window . The power and ground screw terminals for the lights are located on the back side of the box above the speaker terminals. You may want to install a switch or wire the lights to your radio's remote turn on lead so the LED lights can be turned on and off without unplugging the wires from the box

Answer:
do not by any means hook the lights up to the speaker terminals that will blow the amp up over time if sends a obscene ohm load to the amp that will fry it. instead what you do correctly to make the lights come on when the amp comes on is wire the + from the light terminal to the remote input on the amp wire the - from the light terminal to the ground input on the amp that way the lights will turn on and off with the amp correctly and not fry anything

Switches arnt hard at all to put in but I'm assuming that they just hook up to the amp
the easiest and coolest way to do this would be to connect the positive from the lights side to the positive on the speaker side and same with the negative. this will make your light beat with the bass. yes, i know in the instruction manual it specifically says not to do this. but i have DUAL illuminite door speakers in my truck and thats how i have lights wired in them. ive had them for about a year. no problems so far. just make sure you use big enough wire. 16 gauge should be fine. hope this helps. feel free to message me with any other questions you may have.
